Subject: “Light and Life Series.”
Lesson #2, “Light and Life Begins in the Mind.”

Message received by Chris Maurus.

Teacher Uteah: “I welcome you to this second lesson about Light and Life (L&L) that will explain Urantia’s unique case — that in the beginning stages of L&L, Urantia will not follow the more standardized progression of other developing worlds in the universe. There are several major factors that require Urantia be cared for in a way that makes it necessary to apply non-standard administrative procedures to move a world from a rebellion mindset to a mindset that is oriented toward the future progressive epochs of L&L. For any advanced civilization to emerge in L&L requires that its citizens first change the way they think and act — they must first have a realization that moves them toward a more homogeneous way of seeing the world and all the peoples that live in it. On Urantia, this will require a ‘bonding process’ that brings unity in brotherhood with all people — something so profound that all differences between them take a ‘backseat’ to the need for understanding of global events and the problems that will need to be solved for the benefit of all mankind. In that moment, you will see yourself and everyone in the world as being as human as yourself.

“What most people fail to understand is the fact that they are all brothers and sisters and they all share their humanness living together on the same planet — they are Urantian. The failure to understand this is the one thing that separates them from one another. Those of you that do understand this know that you are brothers and sisters and can go anywhere in your world and find brotherhood with any person that also understands this regardless of culture, race, nationality or social status. If you were to visit with those in another country with this viewpoint, you would love and befriend them for their openness and kind respect. This is where we want to go — to the brotherhood of mankind where all people understand and respect each other’s right to think independently while maintaining a common ground that you all share in your humanity — your feelings for those things and values that make life worth living.

“How do you get there? Do you think you can do it via the approach that religion has taken by setting up creeds and rules for acceptance into the ‘club’ of enlightenment? Surely history will tell you that this only creates more separation and disunity. How then would this come about? How would it begin to unfold? In the past ages of tribe against tribe warfare, ‘The enemy of my enemy is my ally.’ This thinking only brought about temporary unity that would soon fall apart when the self-interests of the group became more important than political alliances. What would happen if the enemy was not flesh and blood and there was no one to hate or negotiate with? What if this enemy could not be reasoned with and you had to pull all your resources together to fight this enemy because it threatened your very existence? You, as the human race, would need to use your will and consideration for all people to work together to defeat this enemy. Those differences that once divided you would then be seen as diversities of thought that could perhaps solve a part of the problem needed to defeat this enemy. It would take an unparalleled effort of collaboration and communication on the part of all nations and peoples to understand each other and how they might work together.

“With this scenario in mind, can you now see that rebellion thinking is the enemy that cannot be reasoned with — that it threatens your very existence — that it does not consider the human condition as it applies to all people? It controls and divides and conquers using the sophistries that you need these systems of control to protect you against those that are different from you? And by its very nature to divide it keeps its control over you because you believe you need it to live. To see this in yourself is the first step needed to understand that Light and Life begins in the mind.

The Beloved One: “My child, empty your heart and soul and mind of all past grievances, so you can become free of all shadows that tend to hold you chained to the past and prevent you from coming more freely into My presence.

“Forgive yourself and forgive all others, so you can breathe in deeply the fullness of freedom in Me.

“Ask for more unconditional love when it is needed; for I tell you that unreserved devotion is hard to find anywhere, for so many retain hidden agendas whilst trying to obtain the love they so earnestly seek and desire.

“Practice unconditional love. It is freely available to you, for the Source and Giver of unconditional love has sent Me to live inside of you, and I shall fill you full since I am that unconditional love.

“I shall lead you through those lessons which will give you lots of practice. I have already done so throughout your life, because I have given you the desire for this practice. Only now are you slowly becoming ready to be more mindful of the reactions to your actions and of those around you through their speech and behavior.

“It is through mindful living, in and with Me, that the clinging grudges and resentments of past and present, lose their grip on you and eventually become forgotten things of the memory.

“You are beginning to see certain situations of the past in a more compassionate understanding and an increasing spiritual light for the lessons they contain which surprisingly turn out to be blessing in disguise.

“You are beginning to realize that through forgiveness the traumas of the past become easier to accept and you finally can let go.

“It is through living a spiritual life that freedom comes — freedom from attachment to circumstances and the causes and effects beyond your control.”

The Scribe: “Today I wish to discuss with you what your Angelic Carers prefer for you to achieve during your life on this earth. Your Cherubim and of course, later your Seraphic Companions, like to see you grow up steadily, mature and progress increasingly at the physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual levels. Just where it is you are coming from on any of these scores is of no great importance; but where you are going with these requirements means everthing to you and to those who love you and care for you.

“Let me make it clear to you that if the ‘accident of birth’ has not been all that providential to you, you won’t be judged on health, providing you do the best you can do to take in healthy, balanced meals, and sidestep all drugs. It is important that to the best of your ability you balance your emotional feelings, educate yourself well and make use of this education as best you can to provide for self and those near and dear to you. From the point of view of your spiritual progress, give it some little amount of time each day. Question any teacher and any Angel and have the patience to then let the answers come to you.

“You were not ‘zapped into being,’ as you put it rather indelicately, like your celestial kin, ready to perform or be educated, but inately near-perfect, or outright perfect, o-o-o-oh no! You are mortal man and mortal woman fraught with trickery and self-deceipt on a rebellious planet and then . . . you were given free will . . . and almost as much bad advice as good advice.

“Just re-considering now . . . yes, somewhat more bad advice than good advice, actually. As well, you have invented more time-wasting hobbies than you can really afford. Try humoring your angels and get used to balancing life as Mansonia will bring you more of the same. It’s hard for me to see how under these pesent circumstances you can be so positive, open-hearted and optimistic about all your futures and moreover request me to treat this lesson in a likewise casual manner.

“Man aspires by worship to be better and thereby eventually attains the best.” [UB 2095:06]

Trinity Teacher Uteah: “There are two parts to the above statement. The first part pertains to the quality of the intention set for your act of worship. What and how do you worship? Each one of you needs to examine your process to become clear about the object of your worship, as the target is what determines your course.

“Do you idolize Mammon and the Golden Calf? Do you glorify material possessions, letting such an obsession consume your every waking moment? It is indeed what would occur at such a low level of misguided worship. The noisiness and busyness of the material world are both deafening and blinding to the highest level of reality: the spiritual one.

“This is the reason why your Master Jesus never focused on His wants, trusting that the Father would meet His needs and those of His entourage. It is how He successfully nurtured His Higher Self, soaring to unprecedented spiritual heights, while fully disclosing His hands-on approach for the edification of all.

“The second part of the equation was personally validated by Jesus. The value of His teachings is forever immune to depreciation. Such is the spiritual currency you should search to acquire through your life’s endeavors.

“True worship is your soul’s launching pad. It is the air stream that lifts your spiritual ‘kite’ by raising your vibrations. It is the expression of your wide-open heart and its genuine longings to get to know the Omni-present Divine.

“What contributes to such a soul upliftment? It could be your heartfelt rendition of ‘soul-songs’ of worship; it could be reading an inspiring piece; it could be joining in the vibrant synergy of a choir . . . Yours is to figure out what makes your soul quiver and put it into action. Indeed, the setting of high intentions cannot but yield the anticipated results — sooner or later. Your Higher Self ‘aspires’ to be set free and stretch into the rarefied spiritual elements where it feels at Home.”

Thought Adjuster: “The ministry of your Guardian Angels is not so much to exert influence over your mind and your decisions. This function is fully realized by your Thought Adjuster. Your Destiny Guardians promote situations that allow you to make decisions of a spiritual nature. They are the invisible hands of providence for human beings.

“It would not be right to think of your Guardians as mischievious spirits who are entertained by placing difficulties along your path to see you trip and fall. It is also not very realistic to think of them as bodyguards, placing an umbrella over your head to prevent you from getting wet. Your Angels are the Guardians of your soul, of that which is eternal and real in your true being — which has been placed under their oversight.

“You can consider your Angels to be your Teachers, who sometimes must design the tests and create de situations that will help you learn new lessons or demonstrate that you have learned them. Their mission is not to make your life easier or more difficult. They are in charge to make your life more productive towards the goal of achieving perfection. In this sense, your Guardians are the ones who strive to bring you happiness, true happiness, which is only possible when a soul freely chooses to follow the will of the Father and achieve the most complete manifestation of being.

“Your Guardians put in front of you the opportunities of life, that many times have been ignored or simply rejected by you. What they offer is alternatives, suggestions and indications. It will always depend on you to choose what you will take advantage of and what you will pass up. However, those students who develop trust in their teachers are the ones who get the most benefit out of the educational process. Rest assured that all the labors of your Destiny Guardians are intended for your and your siblings’ greatest benefit. Their actions are always in harmony with the plans of the Divine Presence for every mortal they accompany. Learn to trust in your invisible Teachers and take advantage of each offered opportunity to grow and progress.

“Your Destiny Guardians will never stop working to your benefit and your progress. Their greatest pleasure is for them to observe how you achieve the results they desired to manifest, when you accept gratefully the assignments and tests they put in front of you. Your Angels are consecrated to the task of inspiring you to make the supreme decision of reaching perfection. You only need to live with a spirit of adventure and exploration, with confidence in the fact that the opportinities will arrive. You can also count on the presence of your Creator Father to guide you in your decisions and actions, showing you the best path and allowing you the freedom of choosing to follow it.

“Beings who are born in perfection innately know which is the best path. Mortal evolutionary beings are born without preconcieved ideas and have absolute freedom to explore all the paths and discover independently and without any type of coercion the best and higher path. Then this human decision becomes supreme by choosing of their own accord this path, enjoying for eternity the glory of having discovered truth on their own terms and through their own effort. Such a great Gift from the Father to His mortal children — the freedom to forge their own spiritual existence! You are a creation of the Father, but the enlightened and perfected being that will reach finality in eternal union with the Divine Presence will be forever a creation of your own will in collaboration with the will of God.”
